Catching my Breath Grey Shingled Roof













Today, watching  two mourning doves
  listening attentively to their lovely song

Wooo-coo-oo-oo
               Wooo-coo-oo-oo

Catching my breath grey shingled roof
  tap dancing together, whistling wings

Wooo-coo-oo-oo
              Wooo-coo-oo-oo

Tis not a sorrowful song but, a song of  hope
   they sing beckoning blossoming limbs of spring

Wooo-coo-oo-oo
               Wooo-coo-oo-oo

One flies to a neighboring tree,  resting peacefully
   lifting his voice  heralding in a new morning

Wooo-coo-oo-oo
               Wooo-coo-oo-oo

His mate spreads her wings and flies to his side
  nestled together they bask in a blue sky

Wooo-coo-oo-oo
             Wooo-coo-oo-oo

Today, I watched two mourning doves
  as their songs echoed in my heart...


author's note:  This  morning I saw
these lovely birds and felt compelled
to share their song.

    A song that they sing with delight, together taking flight. Always having a good outlook it seems, way to be as hope streams.

      I am hopeful spring will decide to show soon but, I agree it seems
      to have taken a side road..

    Truedessa, what a lovely poem. I really like the way you repeated the sound of the mourning doves in between describing their actions. They are such beautiful birds, and you were so lucky to be visited by them this morning!

    I've got two mourning doves living on my roof, Truedessa. I guess it's the cheap rent. They are inseparable.

    a song of hope
    they sing beckoning
    blossoming limbs of spring

    There's so much to appreciate with the coming of spring. But somehow the early anticipation is stained by the lingering winter. Nicely Truedessa!

      Hank, the lingering winter has been hard on so many as we
      yearn for signs of spring.

    What a lovely poem, Truedessa. I would have shared this with my students when I was teaching. They would have loved to do the doves' song as a whole class chorus! Take care!
